WOW! That seems like alot of weight. I had surgery on 8/13 and have lost 88lbs. I think the amount you lose depends on how much you initially weighed. I weighed 311 and wore 26/28. I now weigh 223 and wear 18s. I'm like you. . .I feel so much better that if I don't lose another pound, it's been worth every dime!
COngrats!

Hi Margaret,
Im also 5months post op, and about 100 down. My doc said that was great, keep it up. I stay clear away from carbs and sugars. I too have slowed down a bit, and am in a size 22/20 from 32/34w. I feel better to hear from someone else about the same as me. I cant really see it. But everyone else does, and its nice to hear poeple say so to me! And OMGosh, to go to Wal-Mart and buy clothes is so wonderful. Not only does it feel good, but The prices are more for my pocket book, and I dont have to buy streachies or sweats if i dont want to.
Keep up the good work!

I AM DOWN 96LBS IN 5 MONTHS AND WAS JUST LOOKING TO SEE IF THAT WAS AN AVERAGE (GOOD ONE) FOR 5 MONTHS POST OP. IT IS SO AMAZING HOW MUCH BETTER I FEEL ABOUT MYSELF. SEEMS THOUGH THAT THE WEIGHT IS SLOWWING DOWN SOME BUT IT IS OK. IF I DON'T LOSE ANOTHER POUND IT WAS STILL WORTH IT A 100 TIMES OVER. I HAVE GONE FROM A SIZE 32/34W TO A SIZE 22W AND IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE ABLE TO FIND CLOTHES TO FIT IN NORMAL STORES AGAIN!

I can eat just about anything in small amounts. Soup I can eat 3/4 cup or 1 cup depends on the type.It took me 4 months before I could drink a can of diet 7 up.Coffee I lost all desire which I couldnt live with out.Alcohol is another thing I cant stand know .I tried to drink a little wine and couldnt do it. Hope eveyone success.
Topic: RE: Really Depressed!
Hi Kathy,
I have lost about 71 pound now but I was at a stand still for a long time. Increasing your activities will help. I noticed that during the weeks of Christmas and New Years I dropped over 10 pounds from just the extra cleaning and decorating that I was doing. I plan to star****er arobics next month and hope to see it come off even faster. Don't give up....you will see it come off with just a little exercise. Remember sometimes our bodies go into a dormat stage when it gets to a weight that it likes and thinks it should stay there so we need to give our systems a boost with activity whenever we can. Please don't judge yourself by what others have lost...you are a unique creation...make yourself small goals and stick to a plan and you will be OK. Keep up the good work!

Topic: RE: Almost 5 months.
Congratulations Pamela on your awesome loss! I am loosing hair also since around the end of 3rd month post op. I can see new hairs growing in and I'm sure it will grow back. I would gladly shave my head bald to loose 100# and even though I can see my scalp the hair loss has slowed down recently and I'm not loosing as much. Hugs
Topic: Almost 5 months.
I am almost 5 months out RNY. I have been having some hair loss. It kinda stresses me. My hairdresser said she can see regrowth coming back in. But it is unnerving when washing hair and brushing it to see so much come out. I have lost 82 lbs so far. I feel really good about losing all this weight. I feel much better health wise. I am excerising every day on the gazelle for 30 minutes. I still have a rather large abdomen. But the doctor said I will lose it there last due to that is where I carry most of my weight.
